travel saavy friends are great.
whoohoo i bought our tickets to Portland tonight. i guess we 'll expense the tickets after we buy them. so i bought them. for the low low price of $79 each way per person. $358.00 total. cheap? my travel savvy friend Shar. checked her southwest dings tonight. and found that deal so i bought them , then my debit account was overdrawn. NICE. we get paid tomorrow. i might not have been smart to buy them tonight but i did anyway. too late now. i am not travel savvy. i don't know the first thing about buying airline tickets or getting hotel reservations. Shar is fabulous at it. she knows her stuff. so i guess you could say i am travel-tarded. so it is official. we really are going. i am excited. we don't vacation.
i haven't been anywhere. I'll list it for you.
- Southern California, alot to visit family, go to disneyland etc.
- Las Vegas one time
- St. George ,Utah a handful of times in my whole life.
- Provo, Ut once for EFY at BYU when i was 17. and once to visit a friend after i got married but i went with my brother and his wife over general conference weekend. i was 20.
- a road trip with my grandpa when i was 18 to all of the national parks in northern AZ and Utah in 4 days. fabulous story, remind me some Monday to relive that for you , for memory lane Monday. freaking hilarious.
- Mexico with my family, Mazatlan and farther south on the train. i was younger than 8. and they left me home when they went to Mexico city when i was one. remeber my dad thought he was Mexican.

What a great deal on the tickets! I'm not that good at finding goods deals on traveling, but my mom is. I hope you guys have fun! When do you guys go?
You will love Portland. It is beautiful. How long will you be there? There are so many fun things to do... and did I say beautiful?
looks like you need to visit the east coast!!
our place is not that big but we could put up a tent in the back yard for the kids...
Southwest is the ONLY way to go. Maybe Luvpilot will be your pilot. He flies there a lot. Email me your flights.
You deserve to go! What fun it will be a little vacation. That's a good deal too. My sister and hubby live outside of Portland and love it. He's a D.J. there. Don't know what sation though. Ooops.
It is only fitting that you should get a good deal, because how awesome are you finding all sorts of good deals for us via your blog!!! What a great break this will be.I love Mom amd Dad only trips:)
that is really cheap!! you are not missing out on the vacations. almost everytime i have gone, i have come home to some major crap or something bad has happened to me. aka broken foot, not good
How fun!!!!! I always fee so official once the tickets are purchased! I am sure you will have a b-l-a-s-t!
Congrats on your smokin deal! You are the deal queen...I haven't traveled much either...hoping to change that when my kids are all grown and GONE! ;)
What a deal!!! I'm so happy you guys are getting a chance to get away.
i haven't travelled much either, unless you call driving from TX to AZ to visit family, then driving back? We did that a few times while we lived in TX. Whew! I'm glad that's over. The first time it only took us 15 1/2 hrs (straight thru - we never stop to sleep), but as the kids got bigger, it was closer to 17-18 hrs (lots of potty breaks). One time (when Ashley was only 3 wks old) we drove from AZ to TX (cuz she was born here in AZ) and it took us like 20 hrs! The last stretch was during 7/8am rush hour traffic from San Antonio to Austin (which is usually 1 1/2 hrs cuz it's south San Antonio all the way up to northern Austin)! We were SO tired!!
Sounds like you're going to have a fun time esp cuz it's just the two of you!! YAY for you!
Portland is AWESOME and you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!! Will is from there and moved here from there...what a disappointment. To come back from the gorgeoud NW to ugly AZ you will be in shock. TONS and TONS of things to do in the Portland area!!!! We haven't been back to visit Will's fam still there for 2 years now...too expensive to fly the whole fam now...bummer. BUT you got a SUPER good deal on your tickets!! Trust me, I did long distance dating to Portland from here for 8 months and bought many tickets to fly there back in the day.
